“Dumped by her husband, longtime housewife Deanna turns regret into reset by going back to college. Winding up at the same school as her daughter, Deanna plunges headlong into the campus experience — embracing the fun, the freedom and the frat boys.”
Directed by Ben Falcone, who also co-wrote the film with wife and star Melissa McCarthy, Life of the Party is a story about a midlife crisis taking to the extremes. Deanna is dumped by her longtime husband and makes the decision to attend college and live the life she passed on years prior, ending up at the same college as her daughter and well lets just say things get crazy. I really like Melissa McCarthy and her raunchy brand of humor so I am looking forward to checking this one out. Let's just hope it takes the good from the other films Falcone directed with McCarthy in the lead role, Tammy and The Boss, and gets rid of all the corny crap that held those movies back. I will say that the PG-13 rating concerns me. The cast includes Melissa McCarthy, Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph, and Julie Bowen. Check out the official trailers below!!
